Scout Mahalo was introduced to this dinner about 12 years ago. It was very well received and recommended to be a tradition for this dinner. The Mahalo takes place during the dinner’s opening portion when Scouts are thanking attending guests by going around each table and offering the Scout left-handshake and say “Thank you for your support for Scouting.” This is to showcase to the guests faces of the young people who have benefited from their financial support. This also provides an opportunity for our Scouts to learn about the supporters of Scouting.
